    W.A.V. Etc. or ( WAVE- Women Against Violence Etc.), 

 a Carrol Wilson vision-inspiration and a we-grow.net collective help group project. Scripture references provided by Carrol Wilson.

   "Children come and fathers go,  but like endless waves upon the waters, mothers flow:"  we-grow.net

    Many people are of the opinion that a boy should be raised by his father or a male role model and also serve as a role model to his daughter if the children are his offspring. Mothers have just as much influence over their children and must serve as a vital vehicle in  crime reduction in black communities, a concept that needs to be fully developed and explored. There has to be a collaborative effort on the part of men and women in the task to reduce crime. The cut is too wide and the wound too deep to think otherwise.

    Mothers are the anchors and head most of the majority of single parent homes if they are with their children. It is the mother in singlefamily homes that are dealt the severest blow and heartbreak when a young family member is shot or gunned down in the streets. It is the mother who is the "go to" person in matters of family crisis ( if they are not suffering from personal issues themselves). Also see the end of the documentary " Crips and Bloods; Made In America".

   a. Woman with young and at risk age sons should convene in one of a multitude of many forums. If the mothers cannot get their sons to forum with us, that is a tell tale sign that the parent may not have control over that person, who is perhaps a rebellious son(s) and or daughter(s). The call to forum can be a flushing out process to see where the help and discipline is needed. Role models, counselors, and all hands on deck will be needed at these forums in order to redirect the paths of stubborn or street poisoned individuals.

        1. Not being able to forum at risk age youth makes it incumbent upon the respective parent(s) and their families to ensure that adequate financial protection against loss of life for especially troubled youth is in place. This will insure that burial expenses are covered and enough coverage is recommended to ensure that the family has enough financial leverage that can assist the futures of any other young siblings who face the future costs of college or trade school expenses, etc.

    b. Funding groups accepting donations on behalf of others in times of crisis reveal that donations come in by the tens and in some cases, hundreds of thousands and that might be for just one unfortunate cause! Black communities should create a national emergency fund or a W.A.V.Etc. Foundation that will assist in burial expenses in cases where there is no money. Funds can be held in black owned banks which would increase their financial portfolios, and increase access for business loans, mortgages, and other financial matters.

    c. Mothers receiving this type of assistance and care from the black community will understand that beyond their immediate needs for financial protection for their at risk age  and role model and community intervention in the lives of their troubed offspring, that there will be older and more experienced women who can counsel them in matters of finance, education, child rearing, health, etc. 

       1. Mothers would also become a part of a larger network of black women ( and other races) as members of WAVE  should work with other MOMS groups. Their issues are all interelated- I've already checked.  That's all for now and perhaps more later. 9/16/16

Jeremiah 9:20-24 King James Version (KJV) ( how prophetic the words of the prophet Jeremiah regarding pain and suffering of mothers, See the near end of the documentary that can be seen on youtube, " Crips and Bloods; Made In America).  " and teach your daughters wailing" (meaning the mothers will have something to cry about).

20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

²¹ For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets

22 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

   WAVE (black) Women Against Violence Etc. has envisoned using song as a way to bring healing to Black communties (and other communties in America and elsewhere. I am going to share with you an excerpt from the book being written that chronicles the agenda and the work that has been put forth from this website that we have shared with our readers over these past months:  "Jesus proclaimed, “ that if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me”  this includes women to).
 This pronouncement by Jesus can have several fold meanings. Jesus’ being "lifted up" can mean when He ascended into heaven in the presence of His disciples after His resurrection. The same announcement can mean His being lifted up when he was crucified on the cross and lifted from the ground only to hang there for hours until He expired- the crucifixion and the shedding of Jesus’ blood serving as the eternal sacrifice for the sins of humankind.   Then too when we witness or tell others about Jesus, we are what is known in church worship and circles as ”lifting Him up”.
    In either scenario, these interpretations of the scripture have served the cause for  people over millennium to come to know Jesus via His drawing them. Jesus can draw people to him in countless ways. The provision made by Jesus to draw the sinner to Him is beyond our knowledge or opinion in the matter. Though we cannot question His method of drawing, we do have the ability via spiritual discernment to understand what is allowable ( primarily through scripture). Song is one of the ways to draw people to Him and anyone claiming any spiritual footing would agree with this premise,
    Enter the W.A.V.Etc. choirs ... To have National chapters of the WAVE choirs... would undoubtedly draw people wanting to become a part of activities associated with membership within a choir; the comaderie, origin of friendships, travel, exposure, worship, rehearsals, self-development..."
     The drawing of people to Jesus while simultaneously  helping to promote healing in black communties involves song, gaiety, and the things I just noted above. The "drawing" can be fun too!  To draw non-affiliated women ( i.e. no community organizational ties, no church, lack of people resources and or/productive role models, provides for them a chance to come alive, to sing, to move in cadence with spiritual music and members, to become a part of something is already beckoning them ( yet unbeknownst to them).
     What better way to bring healing to black communities than with song "lifting Him up! (There's more)...
